Having used a 1000R G5 monitor, my eyes definitely prefer the 1800R. My previous monitor was a 34UC99 which was 1800R, the 34GN850 is 1900R I think, its basically same - I do not notice any difference. 

 

Another thing for consideration is are you planning to pair it with another monitor, and how would that curvature affect it?

My setup at the mo is a 22 flat vertical + 34 UW 1900R, independent monitor arms means that the Flat vertical monitor can be placed to continue the 'arc'.

 

 

 

Well, I was planning on combining the UW with a 24 vertical (in portrait) off to the side.

I'm guessing an 1800R would make it slightly easier to continue the "arc" than a 1500R.

An 1000R is out of the question.
